Anyone know a good source for SS brake caliper bolts for my 1980 GS1100LT? Found lots of threads on SS bolts in general. Looking for the axel caliper and mounting bolts.

someone else might be a better authority here, but my understanding is this is not a good spot for stainless due to strength issues...
Many of the common stainless bolts you find at hardware stores and such are softer (weaker) than those used on your braking system. Suzuki bolt grades (4/7/9) show on most bolts but not all. The info below has been posted previously but bears repeating. Be sure to use a bolt that's as strong or stronger than what you are replacing...
Metric 10.9 = Suzuki "9" = SAE grade 8
Metric 8.8 = Suzuki "7" - SAE grade 5
Metric 4.6 = Suzuki "4" = SAE grade 1 (no marks on head)
Metric 10.9 = Suzuki "9" = SAE grade 8
Metric 8.8 = Suzuki "7" - SAE grade 5
Metric 4.6 = Suzuki "4" = SAE grade 1 (no marks on head)

I prefer stainless or chrome....lots of SS bolts available for other bikes but no luck finding any for my L...the caliper axel bolt might be the toughest to locate

I gave up on finding the bolts and polished my original ones and with scotchbrite pads and buffing wheels on bench grinder I have them looking pretty good
